3404 Dartmouth Midland, MI 48642

Some houses are built and some are made, and this one has clearly been made, decade by decade, by owners who cared. With a new roof in 2022, 3 beds and one bath, at 3404 Dartmouth Drive, you will find a 1937 brick 1 1/2 story on .65 acres in one of Midland's established interior neighborhoods, tucked off Ashman near E Saint Andrews where the streets are quiet and the lots were laid out thoughtfully. The parcel is 96 by 298, running nearly 300 feet back from the road. That is a full third of a football field of private green space, and it is rare in this part of Midland, where most homes of this vintage sit on a quarter acre or less. Mature birch and shade trees canopy the rear yard, established perennial beds bloom through the season, and there is open lawn left over for a garden, a fire pit, a play structure, or simply room to breathe. Rear neighbors are buffered by depth rather than fence line. The layout is smarter than the square footage suggests. Two bedrooms and the full bath sit together on the main floor, so the daily essentials stay on one level and the stairs stay optional. The main level opens to a light living room with wood floors and a ceiling fan, flowing into a separate dining space that seats a real table rather than a nook. The kitchen has crisp white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and generous counter run, and it stays connected to the living areas instead of being closed off the way many floor plans of this era were. Upstairs is the private retreat: a generous primary bedroom occupying the entire second level under the 1 1/2 story roofline, finished with warm wood accents and set well apart from the rest of the house. It is the quiet corner of the home, ideal as a primary bedroom, a spacious home office, or a studio. The basement is honest, useful square footage: laundry, deep storage shelving already in place, workshop space, and mechanicals. An attached one car garage handles groceries and Michigan winters without a walk across the driveway.
